421: Firing up C&M Ry SW9 #7014

[Saturnalia]

Ep. 421: EMD SW9 Locomotive Startup - CPMY 7014

Starting a locomotive is similar to starting a car, in that you should check the fluids and crank her over. But, that is where the similarities end.

Follow the crew of the Coopersville & Marne Railway, as they fire up their venerable SW9, originally built for the Grand Trunk Western.

The engineer walks through the process, from throwing the electrical knife switch to cranking over the engine and rolling the engine out of the engine house.

SPECIAL THANKS: to the Coopersville & Marne Railway, who graciously allowed access to go behind-the-scenes. Truly appreciated!

- CPMY 7014 [SW9]
Location/Time:
- CPMY Ry, Coopersville, MI, firing the 7014, on 1-10-15 at 13:45 EST
